Dennis's guest in the first hour discusses why he dislikes the image that conservatives are only interested in holding on to the status quo and only care about big business.
Me, I think there isn't that "perception" except among people who want to believe it and are willing to interrupt any discussion on politics with throwing this propaganditto out as their trump card.
I agree, we do not have little catch phrases that we pass around and repeat and which can trump any conversation that disagrees with us. We need to get on this.
Global warming succeeded as an ideology why? The leftist mentality is a mentality of anxiety, wereas conservative mentality is moe to celebrate people's achievements
Leftist thought is emotional, conservative thought is issues based.
Leftists ask, can the problem be fixed by governent, while conservatives are more skeptical of the govt fix.
What is this movement toward emotion and the hysterical fix? That was so non-American in the past. We're moving more toward the emotional, says the guest. Conservs are not able to present their ideas in one little emotional soundbite.
Emotional utopianism started in the Sixties
The book: "Conservatism Redefined" professor Gary?
Conservatives want to give everyone an education to allow them the maximum number of opportunities.
To hispanics: we welcome you, we want you to come. We support the role of religion, of families, we want you to come here, legally, and if you do we're not worried about what kind of society you will bring, you could only strengthen us.
Back to global warming, emotional, anxiety, government intervention.
The left is more prone to anxiety: as soon as they hear a scare, they agree with it.
We have a government that only gives money to the scaremongers.
Point made in the book: You will do far better if you don't see yourselves as victims.
